Missing Lab Mice Infected With Plague

Posted by Zonk on from the who-wants-bubons-i-do-i-do dept.

Buford C Nuzzle-Chunks writes "PhysOrg is reporting that 'The FBI and New Jersey officials have started a hushed but intensive search for three missing lab mice reportedly infected with deadly strains of plague'. The Washington Post says it's not that big a deal, but I was dismayed at the PhysOrg article's quote from Richard Ebright, a Rutgers University microbiologist, about certain federal bio-terrorism labs: 'You have more security at a McDonald's than at some of these facilities.'"

    I'd rather take my chances with the mice.

    Me too. McDonald's is horrible for your body!

    To commemorate...

    Three blind mice,

    Three blind mice,

    See how they run!

    They all ran after the farmer's wife,

    Who cut off their tails,

    With a carving knife.

    Did you ever see such a thing in your life,

    As three blind mice.
